Regional Mental Health Center

Welcome to Regional Mental Health Center

Gazebo

Robert Krumwied, Chief Executive Officer, is pleased to announce that the Regional Mental Health Center begins as of July 1, 2009. Regional is comprised of two mental health centers (Southlake center for Mental Health and TriCity Mental Health Center).

Bob, along with the clinical and support staff, is very excited about this merger because it will offer our community an improvement of healthcare access for those who live in the western and southern portions of Lake County, Indiana.

He expects that there will be more locations and more clinical specialties for consumers to choose from when they are seeking mental health services. Ultimately, the combining of these two mental health centers will help to make us stronger and will allow us to look for funding opportunities that may enhance future services.

We welcome you to the Regional Mental Health site and invite you to frequently explore the many resources that are provided.
